Courses Plus Student 144 PointsI need to build a website for touchscreen monitors. I was asked to utilize HTML 5. Best place to start?
I have limited knowledge of HTML. Enough to get by. I like to build in Dreamweaver. It will be a simple site, and it will be accessed on touchscreen monitors.

Without knowing your skills I'd have to say your probably best off starting from the beginning of the Build a basic website tutorial, you can always skip ahead on the subjects you already know.
Then I'd do the css courses so you can get the layout skills.
Hope this helps.

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Graduate 49,960 PointsYou'd need to be aware of touch events for swiping and other things that you can't do on an ordinary device.
Also check out this article for a good overview, including some best practices to use.
If you're confident enough with html already then go for it. Otherwise check out Build a basic website as Wayne said or some of the other html tutorials if you want to refresh your skills.
Hope this helps :)
